1) There’s More to Life Than Being Happy 

Many American today claim that they are the happiest they’ve ever been. Some studies claim that levels of happiness in America are at a fourth time high. The question is, is their a difference between leading a meaningful life and leading a happy life. Living a happy life and living a meaningful life are classified quiet differently when it comes down to it. Most people that live a happy life are classified as “takers”. Those who live a meaningful life are classified as “givers”.The pursuit of happiness is not enough nowadays.This post basically describes how happiness without meaning is a shallow use of ones times and energy. Americans do not even have a sense of what makes their lives meaningful. 

2) The Cruelest Show on Earth 

Elephants are classified as highly intelligent creatures that develop at a close rate to humans. Without proper care show elephants can be hurt in serious ways. Under federal regulations these elephants need veterinarian attention and an okay before preforming. Elephants should not be abused in harsh ways, they are creatures that we can learn from, intelligent forms of life that need to be cherished. In the article being summarized a young show elephant, one that would still be in the care of its mother in the wild, well being was being compromised in order for it to perform. The young elephant was restricted from performing only for the fact that viewers might have seen some of his blood during the performance. The life of a show elephant is rough and unwanted, that young elephant died later on and it was not displayed public until almost weeks later. Feld Entertainment is no place for a young elephant to grow up.

3) Men Defining Rape 

Men have been in a position where they believe that raping women whenever they want wherever they want is okay for many years. They try to define the difference between actual rape doing tests to see if the hymen was actually broken or if semen was present. Some men even went to the extremes to say the rape did not count if an orgasm did not occur. The demeaning act of rape should not be compromised just because the man does not believe that it counted. The fact that a women could be forcibly taken and a man not even own up to his fault is a disgusting thought. Rape under any terms is never acceptable.
